3 Introduction This report presents the results of the Graduation Ceremony Survey for students who graduated in May The purpose of the evaluation was to determine areas of strength and weakness, determine levels of convenience and ascertain students general opinions regarding the ceremony in order to make appropriate changes in future events. Methodology Subjects The sample for this survey was all May 2002 associate in arts, associate in science and associate in applied science graduates. Of the approximately 900 surveys mailed to graduates, 135 were returned, resulting in a response rate of about 15%. Materials The survey instrument was developed cooperatively by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and the College Registrar. The scope of the survey covered several areas, including attendance, guests, evaluation of the ceremony, convenience of date and time and future plans. Procedure A one-page mark-sense form was developed by the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and was mailed in late July 2002 by the College s Graduation Office to all May 2002 graduates. The questionnaire was returned to the Graduation Office and forwarded to the Office of Institutional Effectiveness for coding, scanning and tabulation. The closing date for submission of forms was September 16, The data were analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). 1
4 Discussion Attitudes toward the PBCC graduation exercises have fallen significantly since the last time the survey was conducted, following the December 2000 ceremony. In December 2000, 87% of respondents rated their ceremony excellent or good. However, only 64% of May 2002 graduates felt likewise. Similarly, only 2% of December 2000 graduates rated the ceremony as poor ; that percentage increased to 12% for the May 2002 exercises. Two negative themes were mentioned more in the May 2002 evaluation than in either the May 2000 or December In the most recent survey, 35% of graduates mentioned that the length of the ceremony was their least favorite part of the ceremony, while 20% noted a lack of organization. Least favorite part of graduation ceremony Length of ceremony Lack of organization May % May % December % December % May % May % The length of the ceremony may be a result of the number of graduates in May exercises, and that would be understandable, although perhaps some adjustments could be discussed that would shorten the ceremonies. Some (though not many) mentioned the number and the length of the speeches as their least favorite part of the evening. Shortening the evening could possibly alleviate some of the other problems that were mentioned, such as boredom and graduates and guests leaving before the end of the ceremony. A perceived lack of organization, however, appears to be a growing trend and should be addressed. This problem was noted in May s graduation survey with comments such as: The departure was very unorganized, unprofessional. More information leading up to the actual ceremony better coordination and organization prior to the processional. Better organization in seating the grads. Make the ceremony a bit shorter and definitely get organized. All the graduates were confused about the lines. Alphabetical order would be better. The location of the ceremony was mentioned occasionally in the additional commentary section. Palm Beach Gardens students are not as likely to attend the ceremonies as their Lake Worth or Boca Raton counterparts. Some perceived that Boca Raton is too far to go for graduation, especially on a weeknight at rush hour. However, until there is an arena of any size in central Palm Beach County that could handle the College s graduates and guests, there is probably little that can be done. On the other hand, another area that could be addressed is the time and day of the week for the ceremony. Those who did not attend the ceremony stated that they would find a Saturday afternoon or evening more convenient, and even those who did attend indicated that Saturday might work for them, as well. This could alleviate problems such as work conflicts and rush hour traffic two of the primary reasons people found the time of the event to be problematic. In turn, this could also bring more graduates and guests from northern and central Palm Beach County to the event, as they will be less likely to feel rushed. Another interesting development was found after analyzing the students plans after they graduate. For those who attended the ceremony, 63% plan to transfer to a university, while 35% will go to work. However, for those who did not attend, 87% plan to transfer, while 13% are headed to the workplace. This could indicate that students who are planning to go to work after graduation may regard the graduation ceremony as the end of the line for them, while those who will transfer might be more willing to wait until they receive their four-year degrees before attending a graduation ceremony. Many of those who attended the ceremony noted more emotional elements, such as walking across the stage, feeling a sense of accomplishment, and having their family, friends and fellow classmates in attendance as their favorite parts of the evening. It is obvious that they regard this as an important point in their lives. Therefore, PBCC should continue to strive to make this evening the special evening that it truly is for our students. 2
5 Results (For complete tabular data, please see Appendix A: Tables, beginning on page 7.) Did you attend the May graduation ceremony? Of the 135 respondents, about two-thirds (66%) said they attended the ceremony. If you attended the May ceremony, how many guests did you bring? Among those graduates who attended the ceremony, more than half (56%) brought five or more guests with them. About one-quarter (26%) brought three or four guests, while only 18% brought two or fewer guests. What is your overall rating of the May graduation ceremony? Graduates were mixed in their reactions to the ceremony. Only 10% rated the ceremony excellent, while more than half gave it a good rating. More than one-third (36%) rated the ceremony, in general, fair or poor. What did you like most about the May graduation ceremony? Students liked a variety of things about the graduation ceremony. Statements related to students receiving their diplomas, walking across the stage and feeling a sense of accomplishment were mentioned most often. Some mentioned less emotional elements, such as the organization of the event, the speeches or the facility itself. What did you like least about the May graduation ceremony? The length of the ceremony and perceived lack of organization were the most commonly mentioned elements that students didn t like about the ceremony. In addition, several students mentioned loud and rude guests and graduates, and that people were leaving the graduation ceremony before everyone had received their diplomas. Others noted that personal academic distinctions were not announced. Was the May ceremony day and time convenient to you? Clearly, day/time convenience and ceremony attendance are related. Four out of five (80%) who attended the ceremony felt the day and time were convenient. On the other hand, two-thirds (67%) of those who did not attend the ceremony felt the day and time were inconvenient. Overall, nearly two-thirds (65%) of all respondents found the day and time of the ceremony to be convenient. Among those who did not find the day and/or time to be convenient, the most common themes noted were that the ceremony was held at a bad time of day or on a weekday, there were work conflicts, and rush hour traffic made travel difficult. If you had an option of the day and time of the ceremony, what would you have picked? Among all respondents, the most often-mentioned preferred times for the ceremony are either weekday evenings or Saturdays. Those who attended the ceremony are open to either of these options, while those who did not attend indicated that Saturday afternoons or evenings may be better. 3
6 Please rate your overall experience at PBCC? Among all graduates, nine out of ten rated their overall PBCC experience as either excellent or good. What do you plan to do after leaving PBCC? About seven out of ten (71%) plan to transfer to a university after leaving Palm Beach Community College. Another 27% plan to go to work. Interestingly, there is a difference between those who attended the ceremony and those who did not. About 35% of students who attended the graduation exercises indicate they will enter the workforce, while only 13% of those who did not attend plan to do the same. Conversely, 63% of those who attended plan to transfer to a university, while 87% of those who did not attend plan to transfer. Additional commentary Students were given a chance to write additional comments about the ceremony. Most students rehashed things they mentioned when they were asked what they liked and disliked about the ceremony, only they were more verbose about it. While there were a few positive comments, most had a negative tone. The most common themes appear to be the length of the ceremony and the perceived lack of organization. (Verbatim responses can be found in the Open-ended Commentary section, beginning on page 5.) Demographics Gender Female respondents (76%) outnumbered males by a 3-to-1 margin. Race/ethnicity White respondents accounted for 64% of surveys received. Sixteen percent of respondents were Hispanic, while 11% were black. Campus Most (62%) respondents considered Lake Worth to be their home campus. About a quarter (24%) reported Palm Beach Gardens as their home campus, while 11% selected Boca Raton. Among students who attended the ceremony, seven in ten respondents list Lake Worth as the home campus. Conversely, nearly half (44%) of those who did not attend claim Palm Beach Gardens to be their home campus. 4
7 Open-ended Commentary Please add your comments and suggestions related to the graduation ceremony. (Note: Comments not related to the graduation ceremony were not included in these responses. Also, responses have been edited only for clarity.) Make it straight to the point. Maybe have several ceremonies a year. Cut down the talk and make it special for the students since it is their special day. Each department should walk out together and sit together. Closer location would have been more suitable, as well as the day of the week. Saturdays have been a tradition for high schools; why not PBCC? I felt something should have been done so students could not leave until the completion of all the names announced. The nurses had to form a group on their own. There wasn t anyone in charge! One of the reasons I did not attend May graduation is because the graduation that I attended prior to that (December) was very boring. You have to make it more interesting, especially for those who plan on transferring to universities. The departure was very unorganized, unprofessional. Very nice ceremony. The ceremony was long and my guests were very uncomfortable on the bleachers. Actually, because of my age, I decided not to attend. However, no one actually contacted me, either, at least about the ceremony. Someone did call to ask if I wanted a video. Group specialty classes together (i.e., nursing, dental, respiratory therapy, etc.) since they all have their own colored tassels. Don t allow grads to leave after they walk the stage. That was very rude this past graduation. I feel that all campuses should have a different ceremony on their own campuses! Boca Raton is too far away from where I live. Make the ceremony shorter. There needs to be more student input in organizing. Too many irrelevant speakers spoke, were boring and said exactly what the previous person said. The president of the college does not need to speak twice. Cut some of the time for graduation. More information leading up to the actual ceremony better coordination and organization prior to the processional. I would have been happy with the graduation on a PBCC campus. More central location, only student speakers, do not allow anyone to leave before the end of the ceremony! Nursing department should have their own graduation, like dental hygiene. Provide restaurant information with maps. All was good. Waiting time is extremely long. It should be shortened. I m sorry to say that I don t like any ceremonies, and I wouldn t have attended my high school graduation ceremony, but I felt obligated because of my family. I m sure you guys put on a great show! I was not quite excited about attending the ceremony. But I was very glad to decide to attend and participate in the joyous event. I feel the different disciplines should have been grouped together. Need some kind of recognition for international students. Not specific with some of the AS degrees like dental hygiene. Better organization in seating the grads. Let grads pre-pick seating. Give out tickets. I attended graduation as a guest. This graduation ceremony, for me, personally, meant nothing. The speech is too long. And the location is too far. A lot of working students attend the college, so I think a weekend ceremony would be more convenient. I enjoyed my experience at PBCC. Graduation should have been held in a central location. Convenience is the key for people who live north of Boca. No comments, but I suggest adding the USA into the speech about where people are from. Make it more a celebration for the graduates than faculty. Bob Knight photo service was a rip-off. But I had to buy my photos from them because my family member couldn t get access to take photos. 5
8 PBCC was an excellent experience. Just remember little things, like acknowledging a certain group s academic achievements listed on their card, are important to grads and their families. The graduation was lacking enthusiasm. The students and guests lost interest, became restless and wanted to leave before all of the graduates received their diplomas. Even the woman reading the names off forgot to call out some of the Presidential distinctions toward the end of the graduates! Guests also said it was a little long, especially for the hard seats. But good to see me graduate. I enjoyed the ceremony, and now I can actually work in the field of study chosen. Had to commute to FAU during the week at rush hour, very stressful and hard for guests to arrive. You guys should improve the time management of this type of event. The ceremony was nice, but too long. I think that the time the graduation lasted and the whole ceremony was just great and well planned. I really didn t like how we were told what to do last minute and that we had to make lines of 11 to walk out instead of being arranged by our last name. I also feel that if you were a PTK member that you should have been able to graduate first. That was one of the reasons I joined PTK, so I wouldn t have to wait so long. Don t mail certificate. It should be given the day of graduation. Also, the flags should be left so that additional photos could be taken after ceremony. It was too long. It was unorganized. It was boring. I would do it again, but I would not bring any guests to put them through that torture. It was a nice ceremony, except that there was too much unnecessary speeches. They wasted time. There were a lot of people graduating, and under the circumstances, it was a well planned event. I attended the previous graduation. However, I had to complete (make up 3 credit hours). The nursing department needs to make their own graduation after the hard work we did. It was held too close to the end of the semester. It should have been held about 10 days after end of semester. Individual campuses would be better celebrating by themselves. Way too long graduates were getting up and leaving. Pre-graduation was chaos. No coordination. Make it shorter somehow. There should be a capping ceremony for nursing students. Make the ceremony a bit shorter and definitely get organized. All the graduates were confused about the lines. Alphabetical order would be better. The guests of graduates were rude, and graduates leaving before ceremony was over. Also, guests were talking the entire ceremony and cell phones and pagers ringing. Obviously a program of proper graduation etiquette is needed! Allow the graduates less time to wait. The part I was looking forward to the most at graduation was when we move our tassels over to the other side of our caps. No one knew for sure when we were to do this, therefore, it was not done as a group. To me, that point of the ceremony signifies graduation. I also feel that dental hygiene and nursing students should be mentioned instead of AS degree. I was extremely disappointed at my graduation ceremony May 9 th. It was great. I can t wait to do it again at FAU! The speakers were talking too long. Needed a little more organization, but otherwise good. 6
